Yeah, but who's paying for it? I don't know how Canada normally funds its mass transit, but it looks like something called "MoveOntario" is funding this. Sounds like the province of Ontario.

Why can't US states follow suit? Nothing is stopping US states from funding transit if they don't feel like waiting for the feds. NYC is doing exactly that with its Westside subway expansion in Manhattan, and NJ funded its River Line a few years ago with entirely local funds.

The Province of Ontario will be funding some of this plan.Metrolinx is hoping that the Feds will help. Considering that the current PM is a neo-con hack who loves Bush, it's not likely the plan will get funding. We are only expecting a partial build of the plan, but the initial funded portion will be significant.

I'm transitioning my writing over to my other site which was previously called The Direct Transfer. People seemed to be confused by the differences in brand between The Overhead Wire and The Direct Transfer so I made a change and combined the two as The Overhead Wire.

This page will continue to be here and will still be updated sparingly as it has over the last few years, however new original analysis and writing will be featured at TheOverheadWire.com in addition to the news archive and The Overhead Wire Daily email.
